NEUTON CE 6.2 Battery-Powered Mower - Safety & Operating Instructions 39
Balancing the Blade
An out-of-balance Blade causes your machine to vibrate excessively. Excessive vibration may cause
damage to the Mower, especially the Motor.
Because you are removing metal from the Blade, make sure to remove an equal amount from each
end to keep the Blade balanced. The best way to balance a Blade is with a Blade Balancer (available at
most local Hardware stores); or with a large Screwdriver, Nail, or Bolt.
Tools and Supplies Needed:
•
Gloves
•
Blade Balancer, or a large Screwdriver, Nail, or Bolt
1. After sharpening the Blade, hang it on the Balancer and check the level (Figure 31). If one side of
the Blade tips lower than the other side, sharpen the lower end a little at time until the Blade is
level (balanced).
NOTE: When sharpening a used Blade, be especially careful to keep it balanced. If in doubt, replace the
Blade with a new one. Of course, you can always have a Mower Service sharpen and balance your
Blade.
